Capcom's Haunts
tweets that the upcoming Ultra
Street Fighter IV will be dropping Microsoft's unpopular Games for
Windows LIVE, and is turning to Valve and Steam for distribution: "It's
coming to Steam, yes, we'll be transitioning from GFWL to Steam." Haunts
also tweets
that the PC edition should be released "around the same time" as the console
editions. Thanks

GamesForWindowsLive (GFWL) works for me, it does have its quirks. Such as failed auto-patching, port issues, no updates, no Windows8 support. No in-game text support, you have to type in the GFWL client to the intended co-op playmate. So it definitely needs improvements. Re-implementing a pay model might be the solution to its death spiral.

Now that I think of it Capcom is one of the last major devs that were still using GFWL. That just leaves Rocksteady and Namco I think? Even the Microsoft published Age of Empires 2 HD uses steamworks. The long nightmare might finally be over.

Ding dong the witch is dead.....

Edit: There's no mention anywhere of Arkham Origins using GFWL. That might be another one down.
